Ash Wednesday

Excerpts from an Ash Wednesday service at Trinity Episcopal Church in Myrtle Beach:

Remember, oh man, that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return.

The Imposition of Ashes

.

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Psalm 51:18

.

For the love of God is broader than the measure of the mind;

and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

Hymn by Frederick William Faber

.

And so Lent begins.

-Colin
